Ownership

 

Shining Globe International Limited is the record owner of 1,456,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, consisting of 1,406,000,000 Ordinary Shares and 2,000,000 ADSs. Shining Globe International Limited is wholly owned by Shining Globe Holding Limited, which is in turn wholly owned by Shining Globe Trust (the “Trust”), for which TMF (Cayman) Ltd. acts as the trustee (the “Trustee”). Mr. Ding is the sole director of Shining Globe International Limited and the settlor of the Trust, retaining the investment and dispositive powers with respect to the assets of the Trust. The beneficiaries of the Trust are Mr. Ding and his family. Mr. Ding, Shining Globe International Limited, Shining Globe Holding Limited and the Trust are making this single, joint filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) of the Act because each of them is reporting as to the beneficial ownership of the same securities and because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, although neither the fact of this filing or anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the reporting persons that a group exists. Each of Mr. Ding, Shining Globe International Limited, Shining Globe Holding Limited and the Trust disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares beneficially owned by the Trustee other than the abovementioned 1,456,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The Trustee, solely in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, may be deemed to beneficially own the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by the Trust. However, the Trustee disclaims beneficial ownership of all Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.
